There should be a way to easily report these sellers to Lazada?
Had the same problem with trying to cancel.....they claim it's on the way....but have no idea where it is.
One told me I would know when it entered thailand. Yeah. I knew ten days later when the courier knocked on the door.
Another thing I miss is the notification the package would arrive in an hour.

I've bought several mattresses from a furniture store near Thai Siri market, north side of road, a few blocks west of Thai Siri market, before border patrol base.
For beds I've bought two from the small shop across from Thai watsadu on hwy 2.
Sting, nice wooden beds, 6000 b. Finished in a few days, delivered and set up
They are on the corner of the road that cuts through to soi nong bua.

The last landlord deducted the cost of his fuel to show up at the lease end walk through. They live 80k away from the house they rent out.
During the walk through they mentioned no damages, but expected me to pay to service the air conditioner.
30 minutes after we left the walk through, they started calling with charges and damages.
When they finally had it tallied up, they were taking half my deposit, and telling me how honest they were.
(Thai neighbors told me I was paying almost twice what the previous Thai tenant paid)
I talked to a lawyer who told me it was not productive to sue.
By contrast, the previous landlord was a blatant dirt bag, but returned all of my deposit. The last ones were smiling professional types.....middle class.

I had a package arrive, cod, addressed to me. My girlfriend occasionally orders stuff and forgets to tell me.
I order a lot of stuff from lazada, but wasn't expecting anything, and the amount didn't seem familiar.
Stupidly, I paid....300 baht or so.
Opened the package, it was a cheap purse worth 100 baht. Gf didn't order, and there was no legit shipping info on the package. Never again.
Is living in a Thai village in the middle of nowhere becoming more appealing now?

2 months in a small farming village so far.
30 to 40 minutes to makro, lots of shopping, Farang restaurants.
Small Tesco 15 minutes away, and larger rural city.
Lots of insects, and crawly things, which don't bother the locals, but annoy me.
Lots of 11 year olds piloting loud motorbikes with no tailight or license plate.
I think I am only only Farang within 5 km?
Have internet, with tv.
The neighbors drop by often with various fruit.
Girlfriends family would make hillbillies look sophisticated.
University graduate gf with a decent job is happy living in village squalor, something I thought I could change.
I go to the barn her parents have called home since she was tiny, and understand that is what she will turn the nice home we live, whether I resist, or not.
I see no need to keep a pile of plastic bottles or cardboard in the yard, waiting for her father to pick it up...someday....to earn 3 baht.
Family is more important, period.
I've spent time in rural houses before.
I don't mind the rural stuff.
Sometimes the people are too annoying.
What else?
Not much respect for other people's property. I find people I don't know wandering my yard, or cutting through. Parking motorbikes in my yard to climb the wall and steal mangos front next door.
I have had people just walk into the house, unannounced.
I put up security cameras.
